The positive expression rates of p16INK4a, Notch1, and hTERC genes in HPV16‐positive cervical cancer, CIN‐III, CIN‐II, CIN‐I, uterine leiomyoma, and chronic cervicitis were significantly different (P < .05); the positive expression rates of the three genes were also significantly different in the same type of cervical lesions (P < .05); RNA interference can effectively inhibit HPV16 E6/E7, p16INK4a and Notch1 gene expression, but has no effect on hTERC gene expression. This evidence concerns the gene CDKN2A and cervical carcinoma.
